a menu allows choosing between all markers or 1 specific type, and all ranges or 1 specific type
more work required on menu structure and menu options/dialogs to specify the type of new location
and range marker creation
This allows UI scripts (saved in preferences) to access
os.* functions (non-sandboxed), while preventing other
scripts to do so.
Lua scripts that can run os commands can execute arbitrary
code on the system. While this is a nice feature, it can be
equally dangerous.
We now use the same actions in all modes, and the logic is:
1. is there a selected mixer strip and are we in it: if so, delete selected
processors
2. are we in draw or internal mode? if so ..
2a. if there are selected control points, delete them
2b. if not, attempt to delete MIDI notes
2c. done
3. continue with delete operation as before
This avoids breaking bindings, and since the action name is generally not a part of the GUI,
really doesn't hurt anything in terms of understandability
An attempt to satisfy #8848.
Add a new action, "fork-regions-from-unselected", which unlinks all
selected MIDI regions from any unselected regions, but maintains links
within the selection, and add the new action to the region MIDI context
menu as "Unlink from unselected". Rename the existing "fork-region" action
to "fork-selected-regions", and amend the existing "Unlink from other
copies" menu item to "Unlink all selected regions" to (try to) clarify the
difference.
Attach the <Tertiary>U default key-binding to the new action: I personally
think it's generally slightly more useful (otherwise I wouldn't have
implemented it), though I'm not that fussed.
In the case that there's only one MIDI region selected, or that none of
the selected regions are mutually linked, both actions will have exactly
the same result. Ideally, we'd only show a single menu item in this case,
but that would require (a) implementing a function to check whether the
selection contains any linked regions, and (b) making the region MIDI
context sub-menu dynamically generated, so that it can change based on the
result of that function, neither of which I've tried to do yet.
